The Teachers’ Pension Scheme (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2022

These Regulations amend the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 (No. 310) (“the 2014 Regulations”) in consequence of provision made by the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022. The amendments ensure that the existing pension scheme established by the Teachers’ Superannuation Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (No. 333) will, except for limited purposes, be closed to the accrual of pension benefits on and after 1st April 2022, and that any members currently treated as being in pensionable service under the existing pension scheme will, on that date, begin accruing benefits in the scheme established by the 2014 Regulations.
